Zermatt

Zermatt is one of the Alps' most iconic destinations – an exclusive, car-free mountain town in southern Switzerland, beautifully situated directly beneath the majestic Matterhorn. The car-free atmosphere, where only electric vehicles and horse-drawn carriages traverse, creates a tranquility and purity rare in alpine resorts. Zermatt is internationally renowned for its year-round skiing with access to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise at 3,883 meters – Europe's highest ski area featuring guaranteed snow, spectacular views, and glacier skiing even in summer. The area offers over 360 km of interconnected slopes that connect Switzerland and Italy via Cervinia. The historic Gornergrat railway takes visitors up to panoramic views of 29 mountain peaks over 4,000 meters, while Sunnegga and Rothorn provide sunny terraces and family-friendly zones. At the same time, Zermatt is a gastronomic powerhouse with several Michelin-starred restaurants, authentic fondue parlors, and modern alpine kitchens focusing on local ingredients and Swiss craftsmanship. Summer opens up a network of well-marked hiking trails, glacier walks, and mountain bike routes with constant views of the Matterhorn. Zermatt combines uncompromising nature, luxury, precision, and mountain culture at a level that makes it uniquely special in the Alps.
